Be sure and tuck in your tie before you cut wood. I know I always do.

There's a HUGE difference between red oak and white oak!

Our old barn was made of white pine, BUT keep in mind those old barns are made from 300-year-old tree's, much different from today's 50- or 75-year-old tree's.

SR

good point!

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

[Backyard Lumberjack]

Well, it looked like a steam engine, just kept going, but maybe he got a bad batch of 2-stroke oil .

I skip multiple pages every day. Might keep me more current than skipping all those pages as a single block.

These deck boards are 6"X1" White Oak fence boards put up on my friends farm in 1985. Some sections of the fence were older, but most was redone in 85. She has a bunch of Texas Longhorns. The fence boards were 16' with posts every 8'. But when those cows start rubbing their butt's on the fence, sometimes they break boards. My BIL heated his house the first couple years he worked on the farm with with busted fence boards. Then I picked enough off the burn pile to use these. They were all gray. I ran them through the planer enough to get the color I wanted.

i mean, pix like these!!! nice work!

I had two saws recently that were put up in the 70's with fuel in them. One was a Mac 1-40, and the other a Dolmar KMS4. I had the Mac for several years and just decided to see if it had spark, yep. Put a shot of mix in the carb and it fired right up. Put half a tank of fuel in it and it started and drew from the tank fine. Then I got the Sachs about 6 months ago. Same thing, primed it and it started. Filled the tank and it ran great. Not all of my old saws have done that. But, enough have that I'm not surprised when they do anymore.

gathering dust for over 40 years or so....

What do you do with the peanut oil?

That’s used peanut oil that I quench my knife blades in .

I did deep fry turkeys in it last year

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

I wonder if @heimannm has one of those sleds in his museum?

i took note! liked it!... while's back PBS or... had a docuvid on history of snowmobiles... the early ones so dif from the ones today! but then, so are modern cars....

@Kodiak Kid I wanted you and your wife’s take on this. They already changed the Squaw Valley name up North, now they just changed the one here to Yokuts Valley. Apparently they say it was offensive, I didn’t see it that way.

Always thought they looked pretty rad! I have a blown up 066 I want to turn into a racer some day. Only problem is. I don't know where to start? Never built up a saw before! Im assuming those head pipes are a custom fit, no? I'll probably be hitting up Sierra R fir info on that can of worms! Ha ha!

well, Nw knows for sure... and then there is the hot saws threads....

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

What do you do with the peanut oil?
